B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray

B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray

Watch out for this impressive new artist. B.o.B aka Bobby Ray, a rapper from Atlanta is a super talented individual.

B.o.B can rap, he can sing, he can produce great beats, he’s also a multi-instrumentalist (including trumpet, guitar, piano and so on). Last but not least, he makes his own genius and meaningful lyrics. What more can you ask for in an artist? Oh and he’s only 21.

Not only being talented, B.o.B’s music is extremely well-done, superbly produced.

I first listened to him in the beginning of 2008, when he put out his single “I’ll Be In the Sky”. I was hooked to the song but didn’t really know who this guy is and didn’t care enough to look for more. He actually didn’t have that much more to look for anyway.

In September 2009, I saw him again in T.I.’s “On Top of the World” in “Paper Trail” along with Ludacris. This song was not very recognizable around the globe as T.I.’s other songs in “Paper Trail” such as Live Your Life, Dead and Gone, or Whatever You Like. On Top of the World was way underrated, but I started to notice B.o.B then.

I actually love all the songs in his debut album, which rarely happens, so I can’t really decide which are the best. But listening to the album for a couple days makes these songs stand out for me: Nothin’ On You, Don’t Let Me Fall, Magic, Fame, Letters from Vietnam, Lovelier Than You and Airplane, Pt. II.

Such a sweetness in life.

Oh and the only 1 thing I dont like about the album: The freaking album cover. It looks like some kinda Fantastic Four or other Marvel and DC Comic books cover.
